Till Eulenspiegel Museum Schöppenstedt
The Till Eulenspiegel Museum Schöppenstedt ( Wolfenbüttel district , Lower Saxony ) is a regional museum . It pays tribute to the medieval rogue Till Eulenspiegel , who is said to have been born around 1300 in Kneitlingen am Elm . The museum has a very extensive Eulenspiegel archive with around 3,000 volumes of primary and secondary literature and has around 8,000 visitors a year. The director of the museum is Charlotte Papendorf.
history
The Essen pharmacist Erich Leimkugel , a son of the town of Schöppenstedt , founded the Eulenspiegel Museum in 1940. He gave it to his hometown in 1947 shortly before his death. In 1996 an extension - built in the shape of a fool's cap - was opened and the museum was considerably enlarged. Of the approx. 600 m² now available, more than 450 m² can be used for exhibition purposes. In 1999 the museum's permanent exhibition was redesigned according to a new concept.
presentation
Among other things, you can see old Eulenspiegel prints, posters, graphics, sculptures and historical documents. A special item in the collection is an Eulenspiegel edition printed in Frankfurt am Main in 1555, which is probably only preserved in this one copy. For children, the museum has several stations that can be explored with a discovery sheet. They are particularly addressed by a large fold-out book in the entrance area, a listening station and a replica of the tombstone of the Schalknarren from Northern Germany. There are also special events and temporary exhibitions.
